Pulling Cranks 101

Maj they know me and you by name. I have been given the discount out of uniform on any given day.

One thing for sure, if you guys ever stop going to BPS, I'm gonna sell my stock before it crashes..

very good read and very informative.

This is prolly one of the best thread on the net, period.
Here's a little input from a rookie, go fishing!! Go figure out what works for you, how you want your boat set up and all that. Another piece of advise is to go where they are catching em, dont matter if they small go where your odds are good and get some experience. Have pulled 3 times before today and all 3 were on a lake that was dead slow, not much fun and not much learning either. Went today and couldn't even get a 4th rod in the water for catching fish, 5 rods when pulling cranks is alot when your by yourself.
Will post some more from a rookie stand point as this venture progresses.
Good luck guys, hope yall are having as much fun as I am.

have seen it stated where some guys use cheap line as filler on their Okuma 15 reels below the good stuff, and my question is "how" to do you attach or tie the two different lines together? What knot do you use?

Really doesnt matter. I just use the same knot I tied my baits on with, tie it on one side and leave a loop and then tie it on the other and pull em together.

Jim I use a blood knot to tie mine, hope this helps

I use a Uni-knot for 10lb clear Trilene XL to 10lb hi-vis P-line.

another dumb ? about this topic:
Most of you guys use the Okuma 15's, and how do you let the line/CB out, cast it out or strip the line off the reel to the length/depth you're after?

I do it both ways, I pull from the sides of my boat and if I can cast it I do. The outside pole and the inside pole on each side are pretty easy to cast the center 2 not so much.
